"Castellanos homered for the second consecutive game Saturday night. He hit .276 with 18 home runs and 76 RBIs in 134 games for Toledo this season. It seemed likely that the Tigers would recall a right-handed pitcher Sunday after making a pair of moves Saturday left them one pitcher short in the bullpen. The Tigers promoted left-hander Phil Coke and infielder Hernan Perez on Saturday while sending pitchers Jeremy Bonderman and Luke Putkonen to the minors temporarily."

In addition, Castellanos has an OBP of 0.343 and and SLG of 0.450, as well as 100 Ks and 54 BBs over his 533 ABs. Complete stats here - HERE

This game would pretty much end the AL Central race if the Tigers can pull out a win.  Big start for JV.... already with a high pitch count though.

How long should Miggy sit?  I say if it helps...give him a week off....they have a big lead in the standings and he probably wouldnt catch Davis in the HRs anyway.  Give him time to heal
